Well if there was any question before (there wasn’t) on whether or not I was in the running for Mom of the Year in 2012, this week has decided for sure that I am not. Â My poor little man has had a rough several days. Â This weekend he developed a terrible cough that made him cry out in pain and become restless and uncomfortable all through the nights. Â His breathing sounded so yucky and we could tell he didn’t feel good. Â When I took him to the Dr. on Monday, I discovered he had an ear infection in both ears. Â Awesome. Â I realize it’s probably not my fault that E got 2 ear infections at the same time, but you’d think since he was already a little under the weather, I’d try to make things as comfortable as possible. Â Mom of the Year would do that.
But in the last few days, E has gotten an ugly scratch on his back from Eva (she did feel bad about it) and then burned his sweet baby finger on my straightener. Â Umm, somebody should be keeping an eye on that kid (or as Jason says, “teeping” an eye on him). Â Really, he’s fine and other than a little extra worn out, pretty happy. Â I know these things happen, but I sure do feel awful about the events of this week.
I’m of course teasing about the whole Mom of the Year thing. Â It was meant to be hilarious. Â And it was, right? Â Yes, I know what hilarious means. Â But to be clear, I’m not trying to promote a competition between moms. Â It’s hard enough being a mom and I’m a big believer in supporting each other. Â I certainly had days at my previous job as well where I felt like I had done everything wrong. Â I’m just gonna remind myself of what I’ve heard some wise friends say: Â ”Tomorrow’s a new day!”
The evenings this week have been beautiful! Â Here are a few shots of E playing outside the other night. He sure looks happy in these. Â He must be faking all that other stuff.
Here’s to getting it right tomorrow (in whatever you’re doing)!
P.S. Â I know that the rat tail is getting out of control.
P.P.S Â I’m still not quite ready to cut it.
